I don't believe there'll be nearly as many new jobs created as it destroys, as it replaces.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote directly addresses the full claim by comparing jobs AI creates with jobs it destroys/replaces, and clearly rejects the idea that AI will create more jobs than it destroys. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified Business Insider’s article at the provided URL exists and attributes the exact sentence to Geoffrey Hinton. In the article published on November 19, 2025, it says: “...I don't believe there'll be nearly as many new jobs created as it destroys, as it replaces.” and introduces it as something “Hinton added of AI later in the conversation,” confirming verbatim text and attribution.

AI Verified Web search confirms this quote is from Geoffrey Hinton during a November 2025 discussion with Senator Bernie Sanders at Georgetown University. Full context: "It'll create jobs like prompt engineer... but I don't believe there'll be nearly as many new jobs created as it destroys, as it replaces." Vote alignment is correct: Hinton's "against" vote matches statement "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" — quote directly opposes the statement. Year (2025) is correct. Source URL (Business Insider, Nov 2025) is the right primary source — couldn't WebFetch it directly (blocked) but Yahoo News cross-confirms the exact quote and context. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
